that which we call a rose

If the common cause is to avoid providing the means by which we suffer to the criminals who just love to make innocent people suffer, then what, really, is in a name?

The truth?

Heaven forbid!

"Yes, so we can get rid of all the laws by Trial by Jury?"

Why did King John protest against Magna Carte?

"Besides, if his laws were to be authoritative with the jury, why should John indignantly refuse, as at first he did, to grant the charter, (and finally grant it only when brought to the last extremity,) on the ground that it deprived him of all power, and left him only the name of a king? He evidently understood that the juries were to veto his laws, and paralyze his power, at discretion, by forming their own opinions as to the true character of the offences they were to try, and the laws they were to be called on to enforce; and that "the king wills and commands" was to have no weight with them contrary to their own judgments of what was intrinsically right.

Back to our Friend of Liberty Patrick Henry too:

"How does your trial by jury stand? In civil cases gone—not sufficiently secured in criminal—this best privilege is gone. But we are told that we need not fear; because those in power, being our representatives, will not abuse the power we put in their hands."

Our Friend of Liberty GregP offers a link to Athens and 200 years of a precious condition of equitable law, fleeting, and certainly perishable.

Who ever said you could be free from danger?

Twas not I?

That can be a theme by which Karl Menger's error is unmasked, but perhaps not here and now.
